FRANCE.
PARIS, December 2, p. m.--President
Greyy this forenoon informed the
the change in situation he did not propose to
make a communication to parliament today.
The announcement that NJ Grevy had no
communication to make to the chambers to-
day caused q general surprise, as this was the
date set for his resignation.
At ministerial council this morning M.
Grevy informed NJ Rouvier that he believed
that public sympathy was now in his favor,
and he could form new cabinet M. Rouver
has freely expressed the opinion that the pres.
ident will only resign under pressure of hos
tile manifestation by the chambers
Excitement i'll the city is intense. A mob
has gathered in front of the palace of Elysee
Troops guard the entrance to the palace.
Crowds in front of the Palais Bourbon became
so demonstrative that cavalry were obliged to
charge them. A number of members of the
chamber of deputies are in favor of impeach-
ing Grevy if his resignation is not announced
when the sitting is resumed.
A council was held at the Elyzee palace af-
ter the second sitting of the chamber. NJ.
Rouvier having explained the bearing of the
vote, M. Grevy turned to each minister and
asked his opinion. All told him that his inn
mediate resignation appeared to be peremp-
tory. M. Grevy replied that it was the cham
Der that had brought about the existing situa-
ton, and that the chamber must bear the re-
sponsibility before the judgment seat of his
tory.
M. Grevy, at a conference with the minis
ters, abiding to the intrigues of the Ferryists,
said
at is all very artfully contriyed, but the
game is now apparent, and it is not TO the hon
or of human nature. see that those who play
it are in a hurry to cat at the presidential ta-
Inn arr uniuO n ma uta
When members of the cabinet visited the
Elysee in the morning, M. Greyy said:
81 thought We were TO say farewell to each
other, but it will only be 'au reyor.' If the
chamber and senate really wish me to resign
they must aCquaint me with their wish by
some clear and unmistakable demonstration.
The events Of the past few days convince me
that in the interest Of the republic / am bound
not to resign. i have received from various
parliamentary quarters communications asking
me to remain in Office Therefore ! think it
my duty to retain my Office / believe that
very soon shall be able to form cabinet"
CmcAGo, December A special correspon-
dent of the Chicago News telegraphs from
Paris, under yesterdays date, as follows:
The radicals who are at the bottom
Of the trouble, arc on the run.
1t looks as though NJ Clemenceau's efforts to
pull down the pillar Of the temple would be
frustrated. The radicals even firc-eaters like
Rochefort and desructiOnisti like De Rouledc,
have abandoned the conspiracy TO overthrow
M. Greyy, under the pretcnse Of Wiping out n
governmental shame and scandal. Alarmed
by the unconscious boost they had given their
great mortal enemy, Ferry, they arc now offer
ing their support to Greyy
NJ. Clemenceau, himself, disconnected by the
vision of ruin which is disclosed, has mmbled
himself to Greyy; but the president, it Is said,
has declined all compromising oyertures.
Wednesday and Thursday the streets
were placarded in all directions with
posters, which were torn down as fast as posi-
bic by the police. These read
